Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary across individuals and populations, emphasizing the importance of evaluating demographic and laboratory predictors linked to disease severity. This study aimed to assess clinical risk factors and selected hematological and biochemical parameters among COVID-19 patients in Al-Anbar Governorate, Iraq. Several laboratory parameters demonstrated strong associations with severity, including neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, and ferritin, all showing a highly significant correlation (p < 0.001) between severe and non-severe groups. The mean values for severe vs. non-severe cases were: neutrophils (4.85 vs. 2.69 ×10⁹/L), lymphocytes (0.695 vs. 1.65 ×10⁹/L), CRP (645.7 vs. 130), D-dimer (90 vs. 2.6), and ferritin (0.828 vs. 0.431), respectively. In conclusion, demographic characteristics and key laboratory biomarkers were significantly associated with COVID-19 severity in Al-Anbar Governorate. These findings support the clinical utility of hematological and biochemical indicators for early risk stratification and timely management of COVID-19 patients. 06 30 2025 06 30 2025 19 24 10.66590/jabs2025010105 https://lquestpub.com/article/10.66590/jabs2025010105
